Adorno XIII 229
Ideas/EpicurusVsPlato/Epicurus/Adorno: also this is one of the great discoveries of Epicurean philosophy, although we can scarcely trace it back clearly to its sources: it has probably given an account of it - and this is, in turn, very antiplatonic - that there is no idea in which there are no traces of the sensual. From this also follows in ethics the specifically materialistic element of Epicurus._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals
